It is a great TV, it includes the usual Netflix and Australian catch-up TV Android apps part of the Freeview Plus suite: iView, SBS On Demand, Plus7, TenPlay and others. but the main reason that I like it is that it runs Android Lollipop 5.1.1, essentially a Android Linux computer that is very flexible and has access to Google Play store:
